A FEW OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES1
"How do you pick of the threads of an old life? How do you go one when in your heart you begin to understand? There is no going back. There are some things that time can not mend, some hurts that go to deep - that have taken hold."
- Frodo (RotK film)2
"Nothing is more painful to the human mind than, after the feelings have been worked up by a quick succesion of events, the dead calmness of inaction and certainty which follows and deprives the soul both of hope and fear."
- Frankenstein3
"I need not describe the feelings of those whose dearest ties are rent by that most irreparable evil, the void that presents itself to the soul, and the despair that is exhibited on the countenance. It is long before the mind can persuade itself that she whom we saw every day and whose very existance appeared a part of our own, can be departed forever - that the brightness of a loved eye can have been extinguished and the sound of a voice so familiar and dear to the ear can me hushed, never more to be heard."
- Frankenstein4
"To die will be an awfully big adventure."
-Peter Pan5
"The best thing for being sad... is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you."
-Merlyn (The Sword in the Stone)6
"It is always my policy to look on the bright side, but in order to do this you have to have a bright side to look on..."
-Bertie Wooster (Stiff Upper Lip Jeeves)7
"Donkeys live a long time."
-Benjamin (Animal Farm)8
"What you call discovery I call rape of the natural world." - Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcom (Jurassic Park)9
“Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” - Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jurassic Park)10
"You are young, and your bitter recollections have time to change themselves to tender remembrances.” - Athos, The Three Musketeers11
"Yeah, well it's simple for everybody else - give 'em a Big Mac and a pair of Nikes and they're happy! I just can't relate to 99.9% of humanity." - Steve Buscemi as Seymore (Ghost World)12
"What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn’t you consider that to be insane?" -Steve Buscemi as Garland Green (Con Air)

"I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr.Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. 'Cause sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How can the world go back to the way it was when so much bad has happened? But in the end it's only a passing thing. A shadow even darkness must pass. A new day will come and when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folks in those stories had lots of chances in turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something, that there's somegood left in this world, and it's worth fightign for." ~Samwise Gamgee
